I guess I know who’s not invited to Ram island when I buy/build it

Please, no politicians on Ram island ... Nice little houses with big garages, a really great bar with the best steaks, and the Coors Light Swedish Bikini Team ... That would be a good start ... Lol

This sweet machine has been on the list since I was about 14 years old.

Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore

Hands down one of the sexiest motorcycles ever made.

I would buy the RAM truck line from FCA. Start making real trucks again instead of these over-computerized shiny grocery getters...

1 - eliminate ALL computerized crap from the truck. No more CANbus, no more relying on a tuner to change gears, radios, whatever.
2 - two truck lines, 1500 short beds for the girls, 2500 long bed 4x4 for the men.
3 - NO MORE UNIT BEARINGS
4 - solid axles front and back on the 2500's, locking hubs, leaf springs.
5 - rotary pumps on the diesel engines (see NO computers above)
6 - no more rotary switching. Grab the shifter on the floor for 4x4, the arm behind the steering wheel for transmission.
7 - bring back manual transmissions as a drive train option
8 - trailer towing package standard on the 2500's instead of an option

9 - change every other ridiculous thing on the RAM trucks that make me consider them to be nothing more than a grocery getter.

10 - buy the Bronco line from Ford and bring back the "classic" pre-'78 line and the "second gen" '78-'79 line. Build them as they were in their day, not some pathetic "executive crossover" that just looks like any other shiny grocery getter and ruins the Bronco legacy.

11 - oh, bring back the Ram Charger... That always was a bad ass alternative to the Bronco.

Does that mean we have to go back to carburetors again? I would just as soon keep my fuel injection. LOL!

Agree with the hellcat swap but after that I think I’d do what we would all end up doing...


Find a late 1970s power wagon and do a head to toe rebuild.

I haven't gotten around to the options page yet! LOL

12 - create a direct line from Customer Service to R and D... Get upgrades in the pipeline before Customer Service even gets off the phone!
13 - create a department to evaluate every RAM forum online in real time to hear problems in real time and get Customer Service and RND into the loop in real time.

14 - create an options line (so Tidefan can have EFI lol) based on the modifications everyone seems to be doing so a truck could be ordered JUST like you wanted it, with warranties, so you could order new bling, have it installed at a dealer, and not worry about blowing your warranty.

To be continued as I think of more things....

I’d have a RamForum giveaway...some contest to make me laugh and then the winner can come pick my ‘17 up ...its yours.
Then I am going to have my new Ram spec’d and built full custom.

First I would pay off my Ram and my new to me house. Buy the just needed options that I would like installed on my Ram. Buy some performance parts for both my GTO and Ram. Build a new garage just to put my box trailer, and lawn equipment in.
Invest the rest of it and buy a Freddie's and a Taco Bell franchise.
